What's in the water out west? Like San Diego's Melvin Gordon, Hyde has made an splash as an (elite?) fantasy RB1 after bringing mostly disappointment to owners last season. He has amassed five rushing touchdowns so far, and honestly, I didn't envision him being ranked fourth in fantasy points, according to fantasydata.com, after four weeks. Don't look know, the reeling Cardinals are tied for 20th in rushing defense (110 yards per game).

Matthews has gotten off to another good start to the season, like he did last year, but this time he may be able to sustain that momentum. The Eagles are coming into this game against the Lions knowing that the main defensive back that could pose problems is Darius Slay, and Philadelphia's coaches are likely making plans to avoid him where Matthews is concerned -- Matthews hinted as much in comments in a video on the team's website.NJ.com reinforced that notion in an article, noting that Matthews may match up against slot corner Quandre Diggs, where Matthews would have an advantage.
